How did that infamous expression going about turning on lights in dark times? This was one of those moments. Turn on the light, Miss Cambridge! TURN IT ON AND SEE THE POSSIBILITIES!

He chuckled. "Better Professor Smiles than Professor Glitter Trousers," he mused. He could live with that nickname - although he felt it would damper his masculinity a bit - but glitter...well, he had a new found hatred for the stuff. "But I would have to agree with Professor Bellaire ... at least in public." Although he doubted Cassiopeia would really mind being nicknamed after her signature facial expression.

And as long as they were talking about this logically... "Now you see why it is in my rules to never confuse it with astronomy," he replied, still chuckling a little. Although he had no doubt that Miss Cambridge had figured that out long ago. "Humans suffer from the Forer Effect and the Barnum Effect, excellent concept to look up on your own time, and such notions tailor to the human need to feel accepted and guided. It's as Shakespeare would say, 'the fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.'" And yes, there may have been a bit of a dramatic interpretation on that verse.

But really, he didn't need to be saying all this to Miss Cambridge. All things she already knew to a certain degree. Her acceptance of the logical was what made her such a stellar student of astronomy.

"Not to mention that the constellations nowadays are shifted in the sky by almost 36 degrees, which ends up being an entire month along the zodiac’s clock," he mused.

What were they talking about again?

"I would prefer to hear your side first, if you don't mind, rather than it be influenced by another's words." Although, to be quite frank, he would have rather the Divination professor bring Miss Cambridge along with her to his office to discuss the matter rather than it turning into a she-said, she-said situation. But alas.

...

.....

Okay, so you know when you hear something SO bad that you have to laugh because if you don't you're likely to curl up in a ball and cry? Lex was having this moment right now and the Gryffindor burst into unexplained and uncontrolled laughter at the Professor's words. Photosynthesis? Growing the plants for when they ran out of food? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Someonegetheroutofthisbloodycastle. "Excellent. Brilliant. Fantastic." A crazed look replaced the false humour in the Gryffindor's hazel eyes. "I'm a carnivore Professor. I'll never survive greens. " Don't make her live without meat, please? PLEASE?

For a split second, she would admit she was actually amused. "Glitter trousers? Seriously? Tell me you've never owned up to it." And while they were on this topic her eyes trailed down to said trousers. Not a glitter in sight. Quite the relief too or she might have cut her losses and left. Glitter was a big no and she didn't take the Professor for a Pansy. "Yeah, sure. Public, mhm."Not like she spent a tremendous amount of time talking about Professor Smiles anyway.

Normally she'd have given some indication she didn't care for the ramblings being offered to her but in the wake of talks about Astrology, Lex was fine with letting the logic sweep over her. "Plenty of free time on my hands now, I'll be sure to look into it--which reminds me." Lex hopped onto the counter, watching the Professor get their snack ready. "Let's say a REALLY RESPONSIBLE EX-PREFECT wanted to take a glance at a few things in the Restricted Section of the Library because she's exhuasted all her own books on Defensive and Dark magic.......could she ask you for a permission slip?" He was advocating reading here and like....Lex was running out of things to do. Being inside was trying her MAD.

"And I'll be sure to quote that the next time she tries speaking about planets." If the sky really had shifted then it blew her conversation even further out of the water. Take that Professor Smiles.

Also, she might have calmed down a little hearing that he was willing to listen to her version. No doubt the other Professor had gotten some of it twisted. Lex doubted she'd mention calling the Professor unprofessional. "There really isn't that much to tell, see, you know how Professors like opening classes with a few questions? She showed us this astrology chart and asked what it was. I said it's what you'd call blasphemy--but only cause it's true--and you'll never believe it but then she started implying you were unprofessional and junk just because I mentioned you having an opinion." The nerve of it all. Professor Airey was one of the few with a brain, and an interesting one at that. "I wouldn't have cared about her saying I was wrong, I get that all the time but I told her you wouldn't appreciate what she was implying with her statements--so she called me a distraction even though everyone was drawing star charts or whatever and not paying attention to me." That...was pretty much it.
